Rochester. N. Y. March IS. 'sG

1loCueStcI, ~. L., AAuIcu 10, Oh.
For many years I have been troubled
with severe pains in the back Of my head
and neck, the pain being SO severe at
times that I was nearly insane, and my
friends feared that I would be. Jumps as
large as a hickory-nut, would swell up on
my forehead and neck. I tried many
different kinds of medicines and physi-
clans, but lone seemed to reach my case,
until / commenced the use of DR.. Pardee's
Rheumatic Remedy, and before I had
used it four days, the pain left my neck
and shoulders and went to hips and limbs.
I continued taking the remedy, and the
disease seemed to work downward, but
there was but little pain. I am still
using the remedy, and I feel confident
it will entirely cure me; for I am SO
much better and stronger than I have
been for years. l cheerfully recommend
it to all.
Very respectfully yours,
MRS. PHOEBE WHEATON,
ITO Mt. Hope Avenue.

The OHIO OUTLOOK.
The "Sun's" View of the Situation-Some
wild Guessing,

wild Guessing,
NEW YORK, November IA special
from Columbus, to the Sun says: The
political campaign in Ohio has practically
closed, and the Democratic and Republi-
can State Executive Committees have
discharged their clerks, and but little is
being done at headquarters. Gov. Foraker
and the Hon. Thomas F.. Powell, the rival
candidates for Governor, have made a
thorough canvass of the State, speaking
once end sometimes twice day for the
past six weeks. A calm, unprejudiced
look over the field by your correspondent
inclines him to the belief that
the Republican State ticket will win by
from $1,000 to 10000 plurality. There
will be q number of surprises, however,
when the votes are counted on the legisla-
tive candidates. Some counties considered
sure for the Democrats may send Republ-
cans to the Legislature, and some Republi-
can counties may send Democrats. Several
close counties are certain to drop into the
Democratic column, and altogether the
outlook, as far as the political complexion
of the next Legislature is concerned, is
very uncertain, and is getting interesting
to all those concerned in political events.
Should the Labor candidates for Repre-
sentatives be elected i'll Cincinnati, that
party will hold the balance Of power In the
Legislature, and will he able to dictate the
organizations of the House and Senate in
January next. II is a fact, however, that
only once in Ohio politics has one party
elected the Governor and the other carried
the Legislature, and that WAS in 1867,
when Hayes beat Thurman for Governor
by 2, 600 votes, but the Democrats won the
Legislature, and in January, 1868, elected
Thurman to the United States Senate.
In the past thirty years Ohio has gone
Republican twenty-three times and Demo
cratic seven, yis: Armstrong for Secre-
tary of State in 1862, Democratic Legisla-
ture in 1867, Allen Governor in 1873,
Bell Secretary of State in 1874, Bishop
Governor in 1877, Newman Secretary OF
State in 1882, and Hoadly Governor IN

was an election preceding which there was
quite as much wild guessing as that
which ends in Ohio on Tuesday night
Both sides claim the State with conf
dence, and give good reason for their
claim. Senator John Sherman, who
is here finishing o stunpipg tour,
says that Ohio will give .
Republican plurality Of 10000. His
reasons are that politics in the State are
normal, and that Ohio is always Republi-
can at such times. The Republican COM
mittee claim plurality Of $4,000. The
Democratic authorities are as certain that
the vote will be in their favor. Chairman
DUNCAN, of the State Committee, says the
Democratic plurality is sure to be 5000,
and he wouldn't be surprised if it was 20, :

Republicans Scarsd at the Outloak-An

PHILADELPHIA, November THE Re
publican managers are in quandary over
the result of Tuesdays election. This is an
off year and no especial effort has been
made to carry the State, except to attempt
to quiet the numerous rebellions that
have sprung up within the party. No one
really believes bnt what the Republicans
will carry the State and elect the State
Treasurer and Supreme Court Judge, but
the majority will be very small. In Allie
gheny and Philadelphia the Germans, who
have heretofore stood solidly with the
Republicans, will revolt to punish that
party for coquetting with the Prohibi-
tionista aud for passing the High License
bill at the last session of the Legislature.
The oil countrymen are disgruntled be-
cause they failed to secure a free pipe line
bill, and here and there through the State
are the bitterest sort OF local contests,
oil having o bearing in the State aght.
The Democrats are united this year and
enthusiastic, while the Republicans are in
such desperate straits that they have call
ed upon the friends OF James q. Blaine 10
come to the rescue of the party if they de-
sire to keep the State in line for next year.
In return for this aid it is proposed to send
a solid delegation to the National Conyen-
ton for Blaine.
